Tuition & Affordability

To apply, complete the online financial assistance application through FACTS Grant & Aid and submit all required documentation.

FACTS Grant & Aid, a third-party financial review service, first analyzes your application. Cedarwood School then reviews the results before making any award decisions.

The process typically takes 2–3 weeks after all required documents have been submitted.

Required documentation varies but typically includes tax returns, W-2 forms, and other financial records. FACTS Grant & Aid will provide a detailed list of necessary documents.

No, your application will only be considered once all requested documentation has been submitted.

While all applications are reviewed carefully, enrollment is time-sensitive. We encourage families to apply early for the best consideration.

Families will be notified by email from Cedarwood School once the review process is complete and a decision has been made.

Yes, financial assistance is awarded on an annual basis. Families must reapply each year through FACTS Grant & Aid.

Financial assistance is awarded based on demonstrated financial need, as determined by FACTS Grant & Aid. Each family's situation is different, and we encourage all families who feel they may need assistance to apply.

No, the application process is straightforward. FACTS Grant & Aid provides clear instructions, and our Admissions Office is available to assist if you have any questions.

No, both new and returning families may apply for financial assistance. Since awards are reviewed annually, returning families must reapply each year.

We recommend beginning both processes simultaneously. However, financial assistance awards are only offered to families who have completed the admissions process and been accepted to Cedarwood School.

Governor Landry signed the LA GATOR Scholarship Program into law, giving Louisiana families access to education scholarship accounts for the first time ever. This initiative ensures that more students have access to high-quality education. Louisiana's Gator Program is accepting applications beginning March 1, 2025.

LA GATOR is the Louisiana school choice legislation that allows qualifying families to use state education funds for private school education. As it is currently written, Cedarwood School will not compromise its mission, admissions, hiring, curriculum, or admissions practices and requirements in order to participate.
